DeMaur - Blind

Intro
You say you don’t see what I see
You’re blind but you see perfectly
You say you don’t see what I see

Verse 1
You said we were all set free
But I don’t know what that means
They’re killing us dead in the street
Metaphorically and physically
They say perception is reality
When will my reality be free
And full of opportunity

We were all told that it would be fair
We were all told that we would grow old
We were all told that life would be kind
We were all told that we’d have peace of mind
Who knows how their stories go
They could have been the greatest stories ever told
But their fires were put out before they could grow
Now where do the people turn when they need some hope?

Pre-Chorus
You say you don’t see what I see
But you have no idea what it takes
Takes to be like me
When I wake up in the morning
You say you don’t see what I see
You’re blind but you see perfectly
Ohhhhhh







Chorus
You say you don’t see what I see
You’re blind but you see perfectly (I need you to try)
You say you don’t see what I see
You’re blind but you see perfectly (Open your eyes)
Open your eyes in the dark
And soon you’ll see the light
See me for me
And we can make this world shine bright

Verse 2
Look in the mirror and tell me what do you see
Hope and fear casting shadows of darkness
With one guide to the light
Pray for the time to heal
Pray for the one who feels it’s real
Pray for the time to grow
And pray that you’ll never know

What it feels like to live in darkness
What it feels like to never be home
What it feels like to keep falling
What it feels like to be all alone
Who knows how their stories go
They could have been the greatest stories ever told
But their fires were put out before they could grow
Now where do the people turn when they need some hope?

Pre-Chorus
You say you don’t see what I see
But you have no idea what it takes
Takes to be like me
When I wake up in the morning
You say you don’t see what I see
You’re blind but you see perfectly
Ohhhhhh
